Is there a point to this? Wars produce casualties. That's the nature of war. Posting a casualty as proof that the war is wrong is like posting a traffic accident and claiming cars are wrong. There is no correlation, even if you dress it up in pink and make it shout silly slogans.

From the last set of photos available on the net, I was given to understand that Britney had no bush.

I'm afraid head hammering won't help you understand the device. It tends instead to slide folk's thinking even further left, often accompanied by a sloshing sound. But you seem to be confused about Steyn, alternately accusing him of being vague, succinct, long winded and sloganish. Tell me you haven't already started the hammer experiment?

My thoughts are that these are the latterday Visigoths crossing the Danube.

Oh, I'm afraid the device is unavailable to liberals too. It's a shame, but liberal minds just aren't, well, made that way. It's just that folks with left-leaning minds find it difficult to associate concepts not reduced to a slogan of appropriate length for a bumper sticker. So when an author begins with a point, then makes an associative point, and allows the subject to drift within a group of associative points before returning to either the initial concept or an outgrowth of that concept, as in this case, left leaners tend to fall right over, to the left that is, in confusion. I imagine your head is hurting just from talking about it. Take a tylenol and try to avoid Steyn articles. You're a liberal.

Here's a tip: Buy silver. Not silver stocks, but the physical thing. 56:1 ratio to gold, and it's the safest affordable haven available.

It's not the tightest article he's written, but it's not supposed to be. He uses a device some poeple with a lack of writing experience tend not to get. But that aside, you seem not to have any substantive argument to counter his, a misfortune not surprisingly shared with you by Wilbur and Microdot...oops..."Visionseeker." Quite simply put, he's quite right. But you already know that.

I don't think economics develops in a vacuum. The advent of women into the paid workplace of industrialized nations rocketed the west ahead astronomically, for about three generations, while in the meantime all the little brown people went about the business of making babies. We seem to have outsmarted ourselves in the west, though. Now we have no babies and the western wave, it seems, is about to crest. Some suspect it already has. The breakdown of the family is also part of that dynamic. The erosion of Christian values is just part of the hedonism that always attends generations of great wealth, plus the intentional atomization that obviously has to occur in order to deify multicult.

What utter rot.

This is not a playground upon which one runs to the teacher crying when someone breaks "the rules." And just so you know, the "rules of war" covered by the GC are not the rules of war you think they are. They have nothing to say about the initiation of hostilities, they are simply conventions governing, to the extent that anyone agrees to be governed, the methods of fighting the war once it gets rolling.

You must have missed the topic of this thread, and all the posts. That's a shame, because you would have noticed that nothing here is talking about terrorism. Perhaps you'd better go back and read up before blurting out in a thread about European Islamification that no one has pasted a grenade to your ass in Canada lately. How nice for you, but rather irrelevant to this thread.

ROTFLMAO! I love this. In fact, it's the ticket out of every mess we've ever been in! Hey colonialism never happened; it was just a misunderstanding between cultures...we thought all those Zulus running at us with Iklwas and all those Bengalese running at us with sabres were just happy to see us. Slavery? Well, African literacy wasn't high back in the day, and no one knew Swahili, so, well, err, we just thought Black folks meant "we want to pick cotton for room and board." Shucks, how were we supposed to know they meant something else? Hiroshima? In our culture backyard campfires are well thought of as a pastime...

Perhaps you'd like to clarify this: "It was not as clearcut as being in someone's house: Six Nations occupied the building site early in the morning. The OPP closed the site to the builders and crews. They got their tools, etc and left the site for the day. The Gualtieris came back later and went in the back way, avoiding the police. The Six Nations youth doing security on the site for the day saw someone go into one of the houses on the site and went to investigate. "

After I stopped laughing I realized how outraged I should be by this "hate filled" rant.

Mexico? Oh, you must mean the fruit pickers.

Obviously you've suffered a rather severe jolt, resulting in a profound misalignment on the political scale. To characterize Gee and Ibbitson as "rightwing extremists," one would have to start from the position that Stalin was a left leaning moderate.

You have to understand that Momo is a smart guy with a mental block when it comes to brown folk. Protesting against the Nazis would be to him wonderful, unless those same Nazis had brown skin, in which case it's "hate filled." As more or less proved by his position here. We have a small group of people peacefully protesting against a totalitarian death cult masquerading as a religion making incremental advances into law and government, and getting beaten up and arrested for their trouble. Were they Jews in Germany circa 1936, Momo would be in a state of outrage, as would the rest of us. Were they Blacks in Alabama circa 1962, Momo would be in a state of outrage. Paint them White and plop them in Brussels in 2007, fighting for the same ideals, but against brown skinned fascists, and Momo suddenly discovers that it's all about "hate." It's silly, but hey, sometimes Momo gets that way...

This article by Steyn raises an interesting point about the malleability of language. As someone who makes a living which *shudder* occasionally involves writing marketing copy, I know all too well how ideation springs from the flogging of words. But at some point Steyn takes a left turn and begins talking about something else: the death of the west; and it's a very good article. About a decade ago, Bill Clinton developed a favourite statistic - that every day in America 12 children died from gun violence. When one delved a little deeper into this, it turned out that 11.569 persons under the age of 20 died each day from gun violence, and five-sixths of those 11.569 alleged kindergartners turned out to be aged between 15 and 19. Many of them had the misfortune to become involved in gangs, convenience-store holdups, drive-by shootings, and drug deals, which, alas, don't always go as smoothly as one had planned. If more crack deals passed off peacefully, that "child" death rate could be reduced by three-quarters. [] Omar Khadr is not just a terrorist legal matter. He represents one of the critical questions at the heart of the West's twilight struggle: what is a child? As readers will wearily recall, since 9/11 I've become a big demography bore. Recently, I was on a panel with Claire Berlinski, who, like me, has written a book on how Europe especially is running out of children, and we were, as is our wont, swapping horror stories. The Italian rural wedding full of aunts and uncles and grampas and grandmas - but no bambini. Seventeen Continental nations have deathbed fertility rates from which no society has ever recovered. Thirty per cent of German women are childless. Among German university graduates, that statistic rises to 40 per cent. http://www.steynonline.com/content/blogcategory/15/100/

Jennie is surreal. I'm sure the Nazis were only in Dachau to provide maid service, and the Kmer Rouge were only in the killing fields to help the Cambodian intelligencia learn to catch bullets. What startlingly outrageous fabrications. Just how stupid does she think people are?

That's about as legally functional as me asserting jurisdiction over it. In fact I think I will. Send Chief whatshisname to talk to me, and tell him to bring me some rent. Cigarettes or beer will do if the gazillions the government has given him this year have run out.

I'm saying that Indians make up Indian bands. I didn't think I was being particularly vague in my phrasing. Yes, indeed the "chances are" that they are the same race, and the inheritance rights that you are rather transparently trying to slide over into the category of "family," involve alleged "rights" that no other canadian enjoys. Because they are not the same race. It's exactly the same as apartied, but its too lucrative to give up for the hordes of leaches who have stolen whatever dignity Indians still had. Indians have become known as the non-productive sluggards of society, and for some reason Whitey is so imbued with guilt for the largely imagined sins of the father that we put up with it. But what's going to happen when non-Whitey takes power? People who owe you nothing but are continually asked to pay for endlessly re-interpreted and often entirely fabricated "treaties?"? What happens then? I'd start looking for a job that doesn't involve trying to pull the wool over people's eyes were I you.

I'd prefer a public trial followed by a thrashing and lynching, but that's just me.

So it would be quite alright to drill, test bombs, and irradiate the land once cashola...oops..."consent" is achieved?

I don't see that as being very hard to arrange.

Let's send him to Brussels, where they'll no doubt knight him and possibly enthrone him.
